The Big Ten, the Pac-12, and a season-ending rivalry game — not to mention two bye weeks — highlight the 2019 Nevada football schedule, announced Monday by the university and the Mountain West.
The Wolf Pack, 8-5 last season and winners of the Arizona Bowl, will open at home Aug. 31 against Purdue of the Big Ten. The next week brings a trip to Oregon, giving Nevada back-to-back games against Power 5 teams to open the season.
